Purposeful Moments
Summer seems to be flying by this year. The "back to school" items are already hitting the stores. I love fall and look forward to the change of season but I also want to savor those little moments that only summer can bring. With camps, sports, travel and more, we can forget to slow down and appreciate the warm weather and late setting sun. It doesn't take a lot of time or energy to make those sweet memories you fondly remember from summers past. Consider creating a journal page where you devote attention to this particular point in time. Make a list of short activities that you can squeeze in after practice or first thing in the morning. Then pledge to make them happen every day for a week. It shouldn't be anything big, just fun opportunities to feel present like blowing bubbles or having a water balloon fight. Remember that little things are often just as special as the big ones.
My list for the week...
Monday - Make fruit punch ice cubes
Tuesday- Create a summer themed book mark
Wednesday- Sidewalk chalk selfies
Thursday- Visit the ice cream stand
Friday- Evening walk
Saturday- Outdoor game (bean bag toss, Bocce, ring toss)
Sunday- Hamburgers on the grill
